*** The bluebirds nesting nearby have made my big trellis in the garden a favorite high spot to perch - the males are in breeding plumage & super blue, just gorgeous.***

I have a pair of bluebirds that have begun nesting in one of the 4 houses I have. They had a clutch earlier, but none of those ever hatched. It got pretty cold here right after they were laid, for several weeks. So they built a new home, and have laid 5 more. I sure hope these ones hatch, but I won’t know for a few weeks.

On the bluebirds watch out for wrens. They love to destroy bluebird nests and take over.

How nice another lucky Blue Bird host. Weather has been soooo cold and wet, it has kept them from nesting. Saw a male a month ago on the house they used last year...but, the weather seems to have stopped their activity. Hoping for return of our usual temperatures.
